what parts off a kx250 should I use?
So I bought an 02 kx250 with a blown motor so I could steal the forks and resell the leftovers but now I'm wondering if I should be using some of the other parts if maybe they are better than my 02 kdx200 parts?
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance...cool site by the way...

I thought about that but read that the pipe and inlet don't match up too well....plus I quite like having a decent amount of fuel when I venture off...

And what benifits are there really with swapping the motor out?...just the front forks and 5kg lighter is what I'm thinking but prove me wrong...

You might be able to swap the front and rear fenders as well as the number plate if you are looking for a more aggressive mx look.
I've also read about guys swapping over the kickstarter but I can't remember why.
Aside from that just steal any little bits that your bike might be missing like rotor/caliper guards, case saver, rubber pipe mounts, etc.

Re: what parts off a kx250 should I use?
People swap KDX kickstarters to KX ones because over time and through vibration, the longer and heavier kdx one can wear out the boss/lever so that it gets rattly, saggy, and generally awkward to fold in. But as I recall, it's not a direct swap and requires mixing and matching of various levers and bosses.Thrahl wrote: I've also read about guys swapping over the kickstarter but I can't remember why.

I run the kx shorty kicker on my 220 & its a good aftermarket mod....if you stall on a steep hill or you are off camber even if the ground is deep rutted & your foot is lower in the ditch than your wheels.. you will soon understand why the `shorty` kickstart is better than the loooooong original !

I used the kickstart from a 1998 kx 125 mounted to the `boss` or knuckle of a 2001 kx 250, you will need to make or find a washer/bush to fit onto the kickstart shaft to take up the slack when you bolt the kicker down.....there`s a thread on here somewhere with pics on how to do the above.

I put the entire kx250 kicker on my 220, I have an aftermarket pipe and have no fitment issues.

Sounds like a good plan....my kickstarter is getting a bit floppy...don't tell the ladies.
